Little Manatee River State Park is very diverse and wild.

The park does not allow swimming in the river because of alligators.  The park also has facilities for horse riding, full...

Bummer..this trip somehow did not save correctly on my every trail app. All I can show is the gps areas from the very few pictures I took.  I hiked 5 miles (have a fitbit which shows me my steps, miles, etc) with my dog Jasper and had a great time.  Quite the hike and this was the most natural hike I've ever been on.  At some points I laughed thinking I should...

The hiking trail is excellent, many diverse ecosystems. Primitive camping is very nice too. The rest of the park has good campgrounds, playgrounds and canoe launch. Excellent park.
